OVERVIEW

Phenderix Magic Evolved (PME) is the largest and most comprehensive spell mod available for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Currently, it adds over 350 new spells to the game. These include the following new spell archetypes: Fire, Frost, Lightning, Divine, Darkness, Earth, Poison, Wind, Blood, Bomb, Water, Teleportation, Spirit, Elemental, Familiar, Summoning, Skeletal, Rune, Enchantment, and many others. This is a massive sandbox collection of balanced spells that I strongly encourage you to download and try out.

This mod allows you to: 1. Use over 350 spells to decimate foes or aid allies. Found in loot, chests, and vendors throughout your adventures. 2. Utilize new archetypes to create interesting spell combinations. Ex. Use water magic then lightning magic for amplified damage! 3. Summon nearly every creature found in Skyrim. In addition, some spells allow you to conjure three creatures at once! 4. Enormous amount of new roleplaying options: blood magic, druid magic, skeletal magic, wind magic, water magic, and more! 5. Dynamic summons that can be dismissed and have their stats viewed! 6. Become mightier than any warrior ever before through the usage of enhance speed and weapon speed spells! 7. Some spells can be used like powers, allowing a dual wielder to still utilize magic! 8. Cast defensive spells to protect or heal allies. 9. Look awesome! These spells use customized effects and shaders to create distinct spells that are separate from vanilla Skyrim. 10. Replicate enemies, turn them into chickens, or pull them through space-time!!

Please check out the section below regarding compatibility! If you would like me to add increased compatibility or synergy with another mod please let me know by leaving a comment! I encourage you to use PME with other magic mods.

FINDING THE SPELLSThe spells in this mod are added to leveled lists for spell tomes. This means you will be able to buy PME spell tomes from vendors throughout the game. This process is very organic and similar to how you would normally obtain spell tomes in vanilla Skyrim.

If you wish to cheat to obtain all of the spells, find the cheat chest next to Farengar in Whiterun's Dragonsreach.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is this mod compatible with Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim?

A: Yes, they work together and both populate vendor lists. This leaves you with many spells to choose from.

Q: Is this mod compatible with mods that change the leveled lists for spell tomes?

A: No. This mod makes changes to spell tome leveled lists. May cause compatibility issues for some mods. Need to do more research. If you find a mod that conflicts, it seems like all you need to do is create a Bashed Patch.

Worst case scenario: put the mod that makes changes to spell tome leveled lists after this mod in your load order. That mod will still work properly and you can always get PME spells from the cheat chest in Dragonsreach.

Q: Is this mod compatible with "Insert Perk Mod Here"?

A: Phenderix Magic Evolved should work with every perk mod. However, perks that change anything magic related may not affect spells added by PME. If you would like increased compatibility or synergy with a perk mod, please leave a comment on this page!
